    ‘Poverty eradication is definitely a way to peace.’

    Yusef Islam

    ‘One of the most influential singer-songwriters of all time releases his
    latest studio album, The Laughing Apple. The Laughing Apple features original songs and covers, though the covers on this album are Yusufs own. He celebrates some of his earliest material, with new presentations of the songs. Conceptually, The Laughing Apple returns to the journey of the Tillerman, as he recalls his travels and life lessons to a younger generation. The album’s cover features Yusufs own illustration, the first time he has designed one of his covers since 1972. Yusuf has drawn additional works of art for each of the 11 songs on The Laughing Apple.’

    “Slowly let me tell you a story of a tree
    An apple tree,
    Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree
    And the man who owned it wanted it to be picked
    So he sent forth to hire me
    Well, I’ve traveled the mountains, and I’ve traveled the sea
    But a never in my traveling days
    Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me!
    Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
    Autumn is waitin’, you’d better be careful,
    For it will bring you down
    If it ever sees you wearing a frown
    So laugh, laugh a little apple
    Well all the apples were hidin’
    Frightened that they might be plucked
    And everytime that somebody passed
    All except that one little apple ducked
    Well, I’ve traveled the mountains, and I’ve traveled the sea
    But a never in my traveling days
    Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me!
    Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
    Autumn is waitin’, you’d better be careful,
    For it will bring you down
    If it ever sees you wearing a frown
    So laugh, laugh a little apple”
